Quick Connect Couplers to Manage Hydraulic Pressure

 


Machinery and equipment across various sectors are powered by hydraulic fluid, transmitting power through pressurized fluids. Hydraulic oil must be heated and pressurized to transmit sufficient kinetic energy to machinery. Hydraulic systems power a wide range of machinery and equipment and various industrial applications such as agricultural, oil and gas, earth moving and various industrial operations.

 Hydraulic fluid power is an efficient method to power large pieces of machinery and equipment for these applications such as excavators, oil rigs, large agricultural and forestry equipment and many other high pressure applications. Hydraulic fluid is efficient and powerful yet poses serious safety risks to equipment operators and to the environment.

 A very small hydraulic fluid leak could be very dangerous to anyone in the area due to the high pressure and high temperature of the operating fluid. Hydraulic fluid leak at 50 bar could be dangerous with some hydraulic pressure at 700 bar (kilos of force for every square centimeter).  Reliable hydraulic quick couplings increase safety in hydraulic applications.

 Threaded Hydraulic Couplings for High Pressure Applications

 Hydraulic quick couplers play a vital role in any pressurized hydraulic application. Hydraulic adapters at this junction point must be engineered to withstand the pressure generated from the application. This junction points represents a potential weak area in the hydraulic circuit, thus requiring reliable and durable hydraulic quick couplers. Only  quick couplers which have been designed and tested to withstand the pressure generated by the application should be used to achieve safe and efficient hydraulic operations.

 Stucchi offers hydraulic connection solutions with threaded, flat face hydraulic couplings designed to withstand high-pressure and high residual pressure with reliable, leak free connections. Our VEP series of threaded hydraulic couplings is available in a heavy duty and heavy duty, locking version and is proven in the most demanding applications.

 Since 1960, Stucchi has been providing a constant flow solutions with innovative, first to market hydraulic quick couplers. We are set apart from other hydraulic quick coupler suppliers with our commitment to improving your process, safety and cost savings.
